AISubs v3.7
Hello everybody and welcome back to SideQuest!
We are wandering through Lost Izalith...
...a rather dreary place.
We've lost a good friend here...
...and hopefully...
...that is all we will lose.
Let us see what is through here...
Can't help feeling like there's going to be some illusory walls hidden around here.
That's probably where they're hiding their bonfires.
Ooh, what's this?
Is that a Titanite Demon?
I hope not.
Kind of looks like one from here.
Or if it's not a Titanite Demon - ah, it is. Rats.
Hmm, so can I get past him?
I guess that's the big question.
I guess I can!
Problem solved!
I can run faster than you - ow!
Well, I guess there's some things you can do.
No, that's not what I'm about to use at all.
If I die because I used the wrong item, then...
Silly me.
Ah, thing's gonna get away. Nuts.
That's right. I got past! That's the important thing!
Okay, good. Stairs.
Okay!
Hey, little bug things!
Hey! Whoa! Buddy!
Ah! Aw!
Aw!
Aw, poor guy.
I'm guessing there's not a whole lot we can do about this now, other than...
...take him down.
Ah, it's a bummer.
But we are losing a lot of good people down here.
Sorry, man.
Ah, dark souls is nothing if not dreary.
Well, at least I have some stuff to remember him by.
Man...
Sadness.
Ah, yes, and here we are.
Guess I better go ahead and use...
...the bonfire, since it's nearby.
I'd probably be feeling that loss...
...a bit more strongly right now, if it hadn't been...
...immediately following...
...the loss of another great guy, who I, frankly, had been seeing more often, but...
Ugh...
Very sad, losing the both of them so quickly.
The two loveable guys.
I guess there is...
...Sigmire's daughter...daughter? I think it's his daughter.
Uh...
...wearing his same armor.
She's probably around somewhere still.
Not long for this world. Heck, I'll probably run into her in five minutes!
Dead.
Yeah, come to think of it, who else is left? Who...
...of the characters I've run into...
...like, more than one time...
...who is still around?
Who's still alive? Who...
...still likes me?
So, when we first arrived in Firelink, we met the guy whose name I don't know...
...in kind of all...
...silver...
...armor, who was just...
...kind of a...
...and he wasn't really a downer, he was just very disparaging of my abilities.
I killed him, though, so I guess...
...last laugh gotten.
Can I jump?
I'm gonna see if I can make this!
Agh!
Nope!
I guess the crow is still around.
Crow is still my friend.
Um...
...um...
Solaire was the next guy we met. He's gone.
Uh, we met Sigmeyer out... at, uh... out in front of Sin's Fortress. He's gone now also.
Uh, our blacksmith friend is still around and kicking. I guess by virtue of the fact that he never leaves, so he's probably safe.
That's something.
Our big blacksmith giant friend in Anor Londo is probably still around too.
Ugh, okay, guess we're running past this guy again.
Well, actually no, let's just try fighting him. I've got... I've got a, uh, bonfire behind me.
Ouch!
Ow! Oh, I didn't know you could do that. That hurts.
Okay, lesson learned. Next time...
Let's see, there's the pyromancer who I saved...
uh... in the depths...
who, last I checked, was still back at base...
in Firelink...
hanging out and just being a vendor and being pretty cool and friendly...
so that's nice, still got him around...
but... a big hat Logan and his apprentice...
Logan's almost certainly gone...
his apprentice went off to find him, he's probably dead too...
I'm gonna keep on trying to make this jump and failing, but...
gonna keep trying.
Ow! That's... that wasn't even close!
Shameful!
Uh... who else?
Guess there are various "vendors" I've met...
out in the world...
but my interaction with them pretty much began and ended with, uh...
transactions.
Yeah, I do not have a lot of friends left...
in Lordran.
Least of all this bug.
Meh.
Everything leaves me.
Yeah! Boy, he hits hard.
Eeh, he hits very hard. Okay.
Well, I don't think I'm gonna be fighting this guy.
So, I'll see if I can just sneak past him next time.
Although it would be a lot easier if I could just... take him out...
and, uh... wait... is it in the right way?
Although it would be a lot easier...
running through that bridge if he was gone. Maybe I should actually give it a...
real effort.
One more try. I'll give it one more try...
taking that guy out... on the bridge. And if I fail again, then, uh...
I'll consider just running past him from now on.
Hey! I finally made the jump!
What item awaits?
Oh.
Well, that's good. I guess.
Here we go.
Agh!
Man, he causes so much damage.
Jeez! Okay, yeah, I'm just gonna try running past him.
'Cause fighting him is just gonna take a lot of time, I think.
Alright, this time let's see if we can just scoot on past.
Here we go.
Pardon me!
Run, run, run, run, run!
Feel free to shoot!
Hah! Missed.
And there we go.
Great!
Made it.
Now we're back to dealing with these guys.
Yeah...
Ate these things.
Dark Wraith?
What would a Dark Wraith be doing down here?
Oh, they were talking about the...
one that would be waiting up top here
Yes!
That was quite a thing
Well, I think this fog door is all I have left
that I have not yet explored
I'm sure there are some little nooks and crannies I've missed and some items, but...
This is the next main place to go
Well, what else have we got to lose?
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Sliding minigame!
(chuckles)
Ugh, what's... what's this?
Oh my.
Ohhhh my. Okay.
Okay.
Okay. (chuckles)
That is an intimidating creature.
Agh, too slow. Alright.
Mm, boy. A little fast for me. Hard to, uh...
hard to get an opening.
Ah, I see. I'm just gonna run past.
Maybe hit this.
Does that work? I don't know if that works.
I'm gonna keep trying, though. Is that okay?
If this is what I'm supposed to do, this is really cool.
I think it was what I was supposed to do. Looks like it.
Did I do it? Was that right?
I'm sure it's fine
Ah ha!
Oh no!
Oh dear!
Uh, okay, foot doesn't take damage, it's fine
This is... oh, okay, I guess I... I guess I have died, then
Okay, well...
Um...
That's a shame that I didn't get to stick around long enough to figure out...
...what to do, but, uh, that's okay! Um, we'll...
...try that again!
Bit of a long walk, though
Okay, I have returned for round two!
Hopefully this... thank you, good... good note
Hopefully this time...
...I can determine...
[flames roaring]
...how to fight the creature
Will I even need to go and break that thing behind the wall anymore? Nope, doesn't look like it, okay.
But I could go hit that other side, that seems promising.
Yeah, okay, floor just breaks in places, I guess, now.
Not a fan of that.
Careful, don't get knocked off of edges-y.
Dangerous.
Dangerous!
Very dangerous.
- y.
Very...
Very dangerous.
Okay, we can do it.
Just gotta break through here.
Break on through!
Hit the thing!
Break the thing!
Break... the thing!
Yes!
[silence]
This will make things better, I have no doubt.
Oh, come on!
If anything, I've only made things worse!
Yeah! Ow, that hurts.
Can I hide back here? Heal up, maybe?
Okay.
Let's, uh...
Let's see if I can get out there and figure out what to do.
I guess hitting you here won't count, right?
Aaah, I'm on fire! I'm, uh...
...on so much fire!
Okay.
But hitting you here doesn't count, right? No. Okay.
Okay. I need to, uh...
...figure out where to head and where I can attack.
Aaaah, okay. I guess...
...I am dead again.
Oof, this is a...
This is quite a fight.
Well, it's not even really a fight. This is just quite a... sort of weird... puzzle...
...where you can instantly die very easily.
Which is not my favorite genre of puzzle...
...but...
...this is Dark Souls.
Alright, back for another attempt.
Maybe this time...
...I can give it a third crazy, spiky wing arm.
I aim to help.
And yep, that's still super intimidating!
Good to see it hasn't lost its touch.
H-oh-kay...
How?!
Uh... uh-huh, okay.
Really?
Can I hit the hand? Not really? Oh, crap.
And I'm... wow, okay.
Uh... heh.
Okay. I have an idea for something to try.
I think once the floor breaks right in front of it, what I need to do is run down and run onto that branch...
and then charge right up to it. Maybe this isn't one of those bosses that you're supposed to fight in a conventional way.
Maybe this is... I mean, I've played...
I don't really remember any from Bloodborne that were that way, but like, Demon's Souls, which is the game before this one,
definitely had some bosses that you were meant to... like, go through a few specific steps to defeat a boss that had nothing to do with actually fighting it.
And this... given how many powerful moves and instant- kill falls there are in that room,
I'm suspecting they're not wanting you to fight it like you would a normal boss.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I get a feeling that if I manage to run up that center lane right into its face,
maybe I'll be able to do something other than just hit it over and over.
I hope so. Because otherwise... man.
All right, here we go once more. Maybe this time we'll solve the puzzle. There's my path. I'm just gonna... gun it.
Let's see if I can get there.
Come on.
Okay, but I think that's what I'm supposed to do, though.
Ugh.
Look before you leap.
I guess there's a reason why that's a phrase.
Okay.
Okay, I got a good feeling. This time...
This time it's gonna work.
I know I said that about all the other times,
this time it is actually gonna work.
I have a plan.
And that plan is to jump into a pit, land on a branch,
charge right up into this thing's face,
and hit it really hard.
That is my plan.
Do you like it?
I like it.
All right, where's my drop?
Come on!
I know I said before that that time it was going to work, but um, when I said that I was actually referring to this next time.
This next time... it is actually going to work.
I see my goal before me, I see my - ugh - I see my enemy before me.
I see...
...a lot of fire.
Too much fire, really.
Now let's see.
Ehh... don't... don't attack me with your arms.
Okay, swing, bam, right, swat, cool, okay.
Okay, yes!
Now get off for this... charge.
Yes! Ha! I figured it out.
Figured it out and executed.
I told you this was gonna be the time.
Everything's going perfectly.
Let me through.
Oh gosh.
That's not good.
That's a lot of fire.
Heal... and then get through.
Cut through! Cut your way through!
Defeat! Kill!
Whatever that was. Ugh, it was a bug.
And it had a lord soul.
And a humanity.
And a bonfire, ooh!
Well, that was weird.
Let me rest at this real fast.
Spend some souls.
Oh yeah, here's what my stats are looking like right now.
I guess it's only been like a couple levels since you saw it last time.
Uh... I guess I sh--
I can't decide if I should try to get strength up to like 20 or something...
and then maybe go to faith?
'Cause faith for like heal is one of the only other things I'd use or do.
You know, I'm gonna keep putting a point or two into faith and...
...just go with that.
Alright, I think I'm done here. I think now that I've got all four lord souls...
...there's nothing else I need to be doing out in this area and...
...not sure if there's anywhere I could really go.
You know what? Not taking any chances. I think I'm done here.
[footsteps]
I'm sure that boss is totally beatable without dying. Like...
'Cause I pretty much went in, fought it, and then died after every single...
...step of the process.
I'm sure you can do it all in one go.
I sure didn't come close, though.
Let's go to...
Hmm.
[footsteps]
You know, I seem to remember someone telling me...
...there was something in...
Where was it?
I feel like I remember someone in comments saying there was something to do with Ash Lake...
...and Sigmire...
...which may not apply anymore, given...
...Sigmire's fate, but I guess...
Is Stone Dragon the bonfire there? I guess we'll find out.
But just in case...
...there's something to do with him...
...or his family that happens there...
...I feel like I should go check that out...
...before moving on.
Just to satisfy curiosity. Okay, yeah, this is the place. Great.
Uh... Alright, let's go...
...do a quick sweep.
[footsteps]
I am not seeing anybody.
Which is sad.
But, it was a bit of a long shot.
When we come back next time, I think it will be...
It might be time to go on to DLC stuff, actually.
Might be time to...
...check out that whole Oola Seal area.
